🎼

When you are ready, I will surrender

Take me and do as you will

Have what you want, your way's always the best way

I have succumbed to this passive sensation

Peacefully falling away

I am the zombie, your wish will command me

Laugh as I fall to my knees

Can I control this empty delusion?

Lost in the fire below

And you come running your eyes will be open

And when you come back, I'll be as you want me

Only so eager to please

My little song will keep you beside me

Thinking your name as I sing

🎼

I wake up with a smile on my face, feeling warm and fuzzy inside. I reach for my phone to check if it was not another dream. It's still all there in black and white.

Khaya: Hey You

Me: Hey, you too

Khaya: How was your day?

Me: It was so much fun. Incredible, in fact.

Khaya: I can see it in your pictures.

Me: Oh, so you are admitting that you are stalking me?

Khaya: Well, hell yeah. I'm checking you out. Nothing wrong with my eyes. What are you up to tomorrow?

Me: I'm definitely going back to San Marco because I think I have fallen in love.

Khaya: Wow, really, already? So, who is the lucky guy?

Me: LMAO... Do I sense some jealousy in that question?

Khaya: I guess I am just imagining how lucky he is to get to taste those juicy lips.

Me: I will make sure to take a picture and send it to you later.

Khanya: Naaah, I don't want a picture of some dude. Anyway, I'm falling asleep. Catch you on the flipside.

Me: Sure thing. Sweet dreams. *smiley face*

I logged off Facebook, slightly surprised at how quickly the conversation ended but also chuffed to know he is jealous.

Well, I have a surprise for you, Mr.

Present day

Nkele: "And then? The grin manje (now)?"

Me: "One word, Khaaaya."

Nkele: "Khaya neh and the girlfriend?"

Me: "Haaibo, can you please step over there with your balloon-popping tendencies?!" *side-eye*

Nkele: "Hmmm, okay. What are we doing today?"

Me: "We are definitely going back to San Marco, and wherever else you want to go to."

I get out of bed and hop into the shower. It feels like stepping into a Spa. The shower has 8 nozzles with 1 detachable head. I am in small heaven, and my daydreaming just flows with the water.
